Considerations
-
Before you think about applying Prevage anti-wrinkle cream to your face, consider some of the rare but possible side effects that you may experience. These negative side effects include burning, itching, irritation, redness and swelling (from mild to moderate).
Prevention/Solution
-
If you apply Prevage and experience any of the aforementioned reactions, there are a few things you can do to combat the issue. Firstly, you should immediately wash all remnants of the cream off your face. Then you should stop using Prevage completely, and consult your dermatologist if further irritation persists.
Warning
-
If you have darker skin, there is another possible side effect that could result from using Prevage. On tan and browner skin tones, Prevage can produce an irritation that can result in skin discoloration. If you have darker skin, you should test Prevage on a small area of your skin (preferably not on the face) before facial application.
Potential
-
People using certain products or undergoing certain treatments also have the potential to be more prone to Prevage-induced side effects. If you are using any products that contain large amounts of hydroquinone or vitamin A products like Retinol, Retin-A or Tretinoin cream, consult your doctor before using Prevage. Also, if you are undergoing extensive skin treatments such as laser resurfacing, chemical peels or dermabrasion, you should probably wait until your procedure is completely finished before starting with Prevage.
Theories/Speculation
-
If you have average skin sensitivity, start out by using Prevage once a day. After that point, if you don't notice any negative skin reactions (such as redness, swelling, discoloration, itching, burning sensations, etc.) you can start applying Prevage twice a day (morning and night, preferably).
